Minnesota has become the home of a new Taco Bell drive-thru innovation known as Taco Bell Defy. The four-lane drive-thru opened this week in Brooklyn Park, the sixth-largest city in the state, and operates as a two-story site with “a proprietary vertical lift,” otherwise known as a food tube.
As customers approach what looks like a cross between an EZ-Pass toll system and a small parking deck, they will be greeted with “digital check-in screens,” where they can scan a QR code associated with their mobile orders to receive their meal from the aforementioned vertical lift system.
